Blackboard Export & Import

Exporting Course Materials from Blackboard 9

From your old course site on the Blackboard 9 server (http://courses.maine.edu), go to Control Panel > Packages and Utilities > Export/Archive Course.

Click Export, then select the Course Materials from Step 3 that you wish to have exported from the course and click Submit.

It may take some time for your content to be exported, depending on the size of your file. You will receive an email from the Blackboard system when the export has been completed.

Go back into Control Panel > Packages and Utilities > Export/Archive Course. You will know see a .zip file of the data.

Right click on the file link and select either "Save File As" or "Download Linked File As" (depending on operating system). Save the file to your desktop or downloads folder for later import.
